| SUBJECT: |
| FOOD STAMP ELIGIBILITY UNITS LIVING OUT-OF-STATE AND EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING |
| DISCUSSION: |
|
Due to simplified reporting a number of
food stamp eligibility units (EUs) move out-of-state and continue receiving
food stamp benefits from the state of Missouri. Evaluate the work
assessment code for all EU members when changing an EU's address to an
out-of-state address.
All mandatory work registrants (work assessment code 22) are subject to call-in and possible sanctioning if they fail to respond to call-in. It is necessary to determine whether or not the EU is more than two hours from a Division of Workforce Development (DWD) office when they move out-of-state. When a mandatory work registrant who no longer resides in Missouri lives more than two hours from a Missouri DWD office, change the EU member's work assessment code to code 08 if s/he meets no other work assessment exemption or exclusion. Changing the work assessment code to an exemption or exclusion will prevent the person from being called in by DWD. |
